Wotto/Nino - many thanks guys for your support. 

In restoring spinner artwork, what is the basic process?  After scanning the images from a real spinner (which Nino has done), are these images then imported into a graphics application (in this case, photoshop?).  I take it the graphics are then "smoothed" and colour corrected if needed (aka Wotto weaving his magic)?  Then a final image, which is then printed to adhesive paper.  Is this the basics?

I've never used photoshop (or for that matter, any graphics applications), but do have access to it if needed in the future.  This would be good to learn.

Thanks again guys.
